Which overlay was commons-modeler coming from when you were tried |
12 |
emerging it? emerge -v commons-modeler should tell you this. |
13 |
At some point, jmx was renamed to sun-jmx. This was perhaps a month or |
14 |
so ago, and also should be fixed in the overlays. In general, before |
15 |
reporting badness happening, you also should make sure you a) emerge |
16 |
sync and svn update the overlays and b) emerge -Du world. |

This isn't really related to the new overlay so much, so probably |
31 |
shouldn't have been included with the rest of the report... |
32 |
|
33 |
That being said, this will probably get a low priority by the |
34 |
developers because a) it doesn't have a lot of immediate benefits, and |
35 |
b), as the Java herd has been short-handed for some time, and already |
36 |
has enough on its plate. Patches are more than welcome though. |

There may be some issues with using more than one of the experimental |
49 |
ovlerlay together, so I wouldn't mix them unless you know what your |
50 |
doing and/or want to help make them play nice :) If you are going to |
51 |
play with fire, I'd recommend using a 1.4 system VM to get the same |
52 |
behavior as is in portage. |
53 |
|
54 |
sys-libs/db was removed awhile ago from gentoo-experimental-overlay. |
55 |
As already mentioned, please do a svn update before reporting badness. |

Thanks for the input. |
